Abstract
Pedunculated malignant melanoma is a rare occurrence. A 29 year old woman presented with a pedunculated malignant melanoma on a congenital melanocytic naevus with halo. Pedunculated malignant melanoma is known to have a high incidence of metastasis. The absence of metastasis and the presence of halo, in the case presented, suggests, that the body's immunological process may have arrested the spread of the melanoma.
Keywords: Pedunculated malignant melanoma, Congenital melanocytic naevus, Halo naevus
